A Rezoning Tax may apply when a property owner has had a property rezoned to a more intensive use. If the property is sold,  there is a 6% rezoning tax due at the time of transfer instead of the normal 1% Transfer Tax.  When a property is rezoned to a more intensified use,  the property becomes more valuable.  Example: Property changes from a residential zone to a commercial zone.  This is an upgrade to the property.
